Chelsea & Michelle
Wedding Party
Samantha Jones
Bridesmaid
Michelle (Shelli's) best friend since 7th grade... so long that Samantha knew Shelli as Michelle and only that. Samantha has been there for Michelle through high school, college, graduate school, and various jobs. Most importantly they've remained as close as ever, even after Michelle moved from Indianapolis in 9th grade to Georgia... Talk about through thick and thin!
Oliver Mullin
Bridesman
Chelsea's older brother. Growing up 7 years apart it took some time for them to like each other as siblings. Now he's Chelsea's 'other' favorite travel companion. While traveling they both enjoy taking photos, which Oliver inspired Chelsea to pursue. They enjoy going through photos after each trip and seeing who got "the best shot." Mom thinks they're all beautiful and is not a fair judge (but Chelsea's shots usually get chosen for the trip book).
Amanda Meeks
Bridesmaid
Shelli's best friend after Amanda introduced herself one day at a brewery. Since that day, the two have been two peas in a pod. They survived some wild nights followed by early Bloody Mary mornings... to now both being kick-ass professional women while still making time to visit local breweries and the occasional girls' night.
Leah Young
Bridesmaid
Chelsea's sister from another mister. Although they didn't grow up with each other they immediately bonded once Chelsea became an adult. Leah has been Chelsea's talking rock through many of life's challenges and has had her back for every big and small moment. Some say Leah may have wiped Chelsea's ass when she was in diapers. No one will ever know.
Brian Sherman
Bridesman
Shelli's younger (albeit taller) brother. Moving around a lot as children, they had each other to lean on during the first few months in each new place. Forever the "first friend" has allowed each other to remain close throughout adulthood and with Brian now living in Colorado.
Michael Simpson
Bridesman
Chelsea's brother from another mother. These two were born 2 months apart from each other. Because their mothers were such close sisters they grew up alongside each other always getting into shenanigans. They enjoyed playing every kind of video game and spending family vacations together. Now they're adults talking about work, playing board games, and of course, still traveling with their beautiful mothers.
Lindsey Peace
Officiant
Chelsea's best friend and one of her biggest supporters. Lindsey has been present in Chelsea's life through her fun 20s and they have continued to grow together as their lives have continually changed. Lindsey and Shelli share a special bond over being super competitive, challenging each other in any competition knowing no matter the outcome, it will end with laughter and love. Not only is Lindsey close to the couple, but she also possesses a gregarious and charismatic personality. Who else would they want to officiate their wedding?
